Gotha Go 244 in 1/72 scale – Italeri 1974

by Doug Thost on September 11, 2021 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

Having just made a tentative return to the modelling world, thanks to COVID-19 lockdown, it was with some trepidation that I embarked on this build! When I was modelling back in the 1970's I was probably just OK for a teenager, but looking [...]

1970’s survivor

by Jay Mitchell on September 10, 2021 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

This Monogram F-100D Super Saber is my oldest model airplane . I built it when it first came out in the late 1970s when I was in high school in Monument, Colorado. My Badger Wren airbrush was used to paint it with Polly S paints . I’m [...]

Afrika Korps 88mm Gun and Tractor

by Michael Smith on September 6, 2021 · in Armor · 5 ≡

I’ve always wanted to build a 88mm on its wheels, and was glad to see this in my preferred scale of 1/72 (1/76 is close enough) for $7.99 at an Austin hobby store a couple of weeks ago. I painted the completed assemblies Panzer Grey to [...]

TBF-1 Avenger at Midway

by Michael Smith on September 6, 2021 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

1979 boxing of 1966 Airfix kit, with decals from the Starfighter USN at Midway and TBDs (yes, TBDs for the 8-T-1 decals) at War sets. I finished it as Ensign Bert Earnest’s Torpedo 8 TBF, which made it to Pearl Harbor took late to join [...]

Republic P-47D Thunderbolt – Monogram 1/48

by Andrew H on August 28, 2021 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

I've finally completed this kit after a long period of in-process limbo. But first I must briefly explain how this kit came to be on my work bench in the first place. It all started when I purchased a second-hand Hasegawa P-47D, mainly due [...]

Matchbox 1/72 Avro Lancaster

by Bob Torres on August 3, 2021 · in Aviation · 32 ≡

This is my Matchbox Lancaster that was built in 1985, originally I started on the Airfix kit that was released in the late 70's but I had some pretty bad warpage on both wings. Usually I can fix warpage issues but both wings were twisted [...]

Airfix 1/72 Buccaneer (old mold)

by Andrew Alexander on July 31, 2021 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

Here’s my build of the 1/72 Airfix Buccaneer S.2B (1989 mold). It’s an old kit, and I decided to build it side-by-side with the new Airfix Buccaneer. Since there is little detail in the wheel wells and cockpit, I decided to build it as [...]

Heller’s 1/72 PZL P.11c

by Bob Torres on July 27, 2021 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

This is a nice model kit, Heller released this at 1977. It is a small model with fine raised lines and pretty nice fine details all over. I built up the cockpit area a little by adding a cage and small items on the side walls. The wing [...]

Vintage Lindberg 1/72 F6F Hellcat (with just a few tweaks)

by David Garcia on July 27, 2021 · in Aviation · 11 ≡

One thing about the Lindberg kits I have built is that the parts fit properly. All I did to this kit is open up the closed engine face and add a spare engine, some guns and an antenna. Everything else is out of the box. I did use the [...]
